HI Lady Gators! ITs Caroline Amelia... leggo

QUOTE ID PRACTICE

"On every formal visit a child ought to be of the party"

  • Sense and Sensibility
  • Look at syntax (preposition at beginning on sentance)
  • Try to remember context
"They gave themselves up wholly to their sorrows"

  • Sense and Sensibility
  • There is sorrow in Their Eyes, but Hurstons tone and language is very different from Austen
"Good wombs have borne bad sons"

  • The Tempest
  • Remember the plot, Prospero's brother overthrew him
  • Specific Syntax to Shakespeare
"How vain are all thos glories, all our pains"

  • ROTL
  • Iambic
  • Vanity
  • It ryhmes
"The sun was gone... It was the time to hear things and talk"

  • TEWWG
  • Hurston style
  • Remember the porch talkers
  • The horizon is a motif, so mention of the sky is a clue
"She knew things that nobody had ever told her"

  • TEWWG
  • Informal tone
  • Janie did know things that nobody ever told her
  • Not Austen's style
"I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss"

  • Trick Question!!! Its Tale of Two Cities
  • She thoguht it was funny... i guess we have different senses of humor
"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance"

  • TIOBE
  • Saying things that sound smart, but dont actually make a lot of sense
  • Ignorance vs. Education is a theme
  • Sounds witty which is Wilde's style
